Amic Forging Limited, a manufacturer of forged and precision-machined engineering components, is expanding its forging and machining capacity. The company’s forging capacity is being increased from 18,000 to 30,000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA), while machining capacity is being expanded from 8,400 to 24,000 MTPA. The new capacities are scheduled to become operational from September 1, 2025.
As part of the expansion, Amic Forging has installed an electro-hydraulic furnace that enables the company to forge single components weighing up to 8 tonnes, up from the previous limit of 5 tonnes. This upgrade allows for the production of larger and more complex components with improved consistency and energy efficiency.
“Over the past few years, AMIC has undergone a significant transformation. From being a basic forging company, we have invested in our capabilities to become a fully integrated, end-to-end precision engineering company. We plan to backward integrate by starting in-house manufacturing of ingots. This will improve product quality, ensure timely execution, and lead to significant savings in raw material costs. Additionally, it will enable us to meet the requirements for high-precision engineering components, such as those used in the aeronautics sector,” stated Director Anshul Chamaria.
In the machining division, the company is undertaking debottlenecking measures and infrastructure investments to accommodate growing customer demand and improve delivery timelines. Amic Forging is also exploring tighter machining work to better utilize capacity while maintaining its existing commitments.
The expansion is part of a broader capital expenditure plan that includes setting up in-house ingot manufacturing capabilities with a potential capacity of 36,000 MTPA. This backward integration initiative is expected to reduce raw material costs and enhance quality control across the production process.
“At AMIC Forging, we have made significant investments to position ourselves as a preferred supplier of complex precision engineering components. These investments in fixed assets, human resources, engineering capabilities, and technical know-how are designed to support strong, sustained growth. Once the capex becomes fully operational, we expect to achieve three digit growths over the next 2 to 3 years,” added Chamaria.
Amic Forging Limited manufactures forged and precision-machined engineering components. The company operates facilities in West Bengal and serves a range of industrial sectors, with a focus on expanding capacity to meet increasing market demand.
